Front Rear Wishbone Bushes

[SBLTO]

Alright chaps,

Does anyone knows any decent garages in the Edinburgh area that can fit front rear wishbone bushes at a sensible price? Fittings these things are a bloody nightmare!

Tynecastle run our race cars, they know their stuff ;)

Wouldn't say this is the kinda job you could put a book time on jdl, it's a suspension component on the front of an 8-13 year old car. There's a recent thread discussing the methods of installing and how much of a nightmare it can be to get the old ones off.

I seen that on their website! Booked in next for next wednesday :D Was quoted between £80 - £150, which wasn't quite as bad as what I thought it was going to be to be honest.

Is that labour alone or parts and labour?

Surely both. My advise us always get the garage to supply and fit bushes. That way if a bush fails there is no arguing. (Like if you supply bush, they fit, bush goes bad they ain't gona refit it for free)

Bought Powerflex bushes from Orranje so thats for labour alone mate. From my understanding the subframe needs to be dropped so its quite a time consuming job.
